Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Theresa waved her hand. Although she wanted to stay, the thought of the mountain of work made her lose interest.

After Theresa left, Walter stood up at the same time.

"Ms. Nightingale, I'm going back to North America soon. If you change your mind, please feel free to contact me."

“…”

Tesla wanted to complain to Ziyao angrily, but because of her swollen lips, he could only glare at her before leaving.

"You're so heavy, drink less next time."

After paying the bill, Ziyao helped the unsteady Himeko back to her room.

Throwing the clothes on the bed, taking off the clothes, turning on the air conditioner—all in one smooth motion.

Before leaving, she even helped lock the door from the inside.

Fortunately, Ziyao has a good alcohol tolerance, and apart from feeling a little unsteady on her feet, she didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Back in the dorm, the Valkyries were huddled on the sofa watching a horror movie.

To create the right atmosphere, they didn't even turn on the lights.

Therefore, they did not find Ziyao either.

"Hehehe..."

Sadako, dressed in white with black hair, slowly crawls out of the television amidst terrifying background music, her countless black hairs tangled all over the floor.

Kiana watched the show while eating snacks, finding it quite entertaining.

Bronya sat upright in the middle of the sofa, holding the Houmu doll, completely unmoved, and even noticed that the prop was out of place.

Mei pretended to drink water calmly, but her hands were actually trembling slightly.

She showed no fear in the face of the Honkai Beasts, yet these creatures had a creepy feel to them.

"Does Mei find it boring?"

"Hmm? No...no, it's just that I rarely watch these kinds of movies."

A ripple appeared on the surface of the water in the cup, Mei said dismissively to Kiana.

Mei felt an itch on her neck as a strand of hair gently brushed against it, but she ignored it, assuming it was Kiana playing a prank.

Suddenly, I felt a light tap on my shoulder.

Mei turned around and saw black hair suddenly appear before her eyes.

"Waaah... Nightingale teacher, why do you walk so quietly?"

A cute, mournful cry rang out, and Mei got up to find that it was Ziyao.

"Teacher Nightingale has a bad heart."

Bronya said, holding the doll.

"I can't find my comb, can I borrow yours, Mei?"

"Um...."

Mei calmed her racing heart and handed the wooden comb to Ziyao.

After getting the comb, Ziyao took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

It's more troublesome for girls to wash their hair. They have to tie it up beforehand to make it easier to wash, otherwise, a messy tangled mess can be a real pain.

Turn on the shower, and hot water pours down.

The girl in the mirror was beautiful; the flesh color showing through her white silk stockings after they were wet was very alluring. Unfortunately, that was herself.

Sorry.

They had the opportunity to meet girls, but lost the means to have in-depth conversations with them.

Things in the world rise and fall, and a balance is always found amidst contradictions.

A spiral ascent makes commonality difficult to achieve.

The Tao is impermanent; that's probably how it is.

Volume 1: Chapter 43 The Weekend Battle of Blushing and Heart-Pounding Moments

"Did Auntie go back to the European headquarters? I thought I could borrow her comic books..."

In the morning, after her routine training, Kiana took a relaxing shower.

Lying on the soft sofa, the girl instantly transformed into a lazy bum who only wanted to slack off.

"Idiot Kiana, you have an exam tomorrow, hurry up and study."

Bronya held a stack of textbooks in her hands and pressed them against Kiana's chest, causing the books to shake.

"It's the weekend these past two days, and training in the mornings is really tough. Let me rest a bit~"

"Bronya will help you with your studies; Mei asked her to do it."

Sitting down next to her, Bronya opened her history textbook and patiently went through the key points from the beginning.

"Collapse, a contradiction born from the development of civilization, is a negation of civilization itself; only through the negation of negation can it occur..."

"It's so hard, I can't understand it, there's so much history to memorize, it's giving me a headache."

Like a mantra being chanted, Kiana lay on the sofa, swinging her legs, unable to hear a single word.

"Idiot Kiana, it's your own fault for never reading books."

"Honkai is just Honkai, it's the same old thing all the time, can't we talk about something else?"

"Quiet down, Bronya will comb your hair again."

Bronya sighed as she gently pressed down on the girl's restless body.

"Eh, Nightingale teacher?"

Kiana saw Ziyao looking bewildered after failing to draw a card and quickly greeted her.

"Could you tutor me, teacher? Bronya's explanations are too obscure and hard to understand."

"It's obscure and hard to understand, you idiot Kiana."

"Oh, as long as the meaning is conveyed, that's fine."

【...】

Hundreds of crystals vanished into thin air.

Today's gacha banner was marked as featuring the Rewind Potion, but I ended up getting a bunch of random random characters instead.

I never expected that the Rewind Potion given as a reward for completing the beginner quests would be so rare.

I was such an idiot to chug two bottles in one go back then.

Yesterday, Ziyao obtained the Soul Steel, which was imbued with the power of the Herrscher of Reason. She is considering whether to use it to strengthen the Kiana doll.

"Tuition?"

"I'm a health teacher, but the exam doesn't test my health class."

Sitting on the sofa, Ziyao seriously considered whether she should publish a book of riddles and ask Otto to help with the publication, hoping to get some crystals in the process.

If possible, defeating the Herrscher of the End would be a piece of cake, and even marrying her wouldn't be a problem.

"The emperor dared not defy the eunuchs, and even when his bedchamber was occupied, he uttered not a single complaint..."

"From then on, the emperor became a complete puppet."

Beside her, Bronya was recounting the history of China a thousand years ago, where powerful clans and noble families monopolized social resources, leading to widespread suffering among the people.

"If I were the emperor, and this treacherous minister dared to provoke me in court, I would have his head chopped off on the spot!"

Kiana is more interested in historical events than knowledge.

"That's impossible."

"Why? Aren't I the emperor? Why can't I cut off his head?"

As she spoke, Kiana turned her gaze to Ziyao.

"Because power is inherently bottom-up."

"Although emperors in ancient times were quick to kill people, careful study reveals that they rarely killed the political forces they had cultivated, and instead kept them firmly in their hands."

"Once power is in the hands of the rentier class, the emperor becomes a figurehead, unable to do anything."

Kiana nodded thoughtfully. "—I understand."

"Looks like that idiot Kiana is actually quite smart."

Bronya nodded as she picked up the Houm.

"I get it, as long as I sneak off to chop it up in the middle of the night, there won't be any problems, right?"

Ziyao: ......

Bronya:.......

The time came to noon.

After a long period of review, Kiana's accuracy in history finally reached the passing grade.

"Hey, shall we play a game? Mei's back just in time."

Setting down the exam paper, Kiana magically pulled out party cards from under her skirt, looking quite interested.

"Bronya agrees, anyway, that idiot Kiana is destined to fail."
